Chapter 40 Hiding from Danger and Hiding in the Spotted Land

Temujin was invited to the Xiankun camp to negotiate a marriage, but he did not return after a day. Chi Lao Wen and Jebel, who stayed in the camp, were not sure, and led a group of soldiers and horses to inquire about the situation, and met Temujin with his soldiers and horses to break through.

"You came just in time, Xiankun set up an ambush, Wang Han has different intentions, cover everyone to leave this place quickly, in case Wang Han's army is chasing after you." Temujin saw that Chi Lao Wen was coming and hurriedly said, "Also, Borshu and Borhu were bitten by the Fire Flame Gate, Chi Lao Wen stayed, Jebel brought people to help them, but they should not fall in love with the war, go back to the camp quickly, and don't hurt the Fire Flame Gate." ”

Zhebeleng, why didn't he let the enemy general be killed? Mu Huali is also a line, when did he still think about not killing the enemy and the fire power, he nodded very admiringly, glanced at Zhebei and said: "What is Leng, do what the Great Khan said." ”

Jebel shook his head and said "oh", and Le Ma jumped up and galloped towards the enemy line with a group of soldiers and horses.

Half of the Mongol soldiers and horses were killed or wounded in the Battle of Shalanzhen, but fortunately, the generals basically withdrew as planned. Temujin himself bandaged him and said gratefully: "This time you successfully attacked the soldiers, aroused the morale of the soldiers and made a great contribution to our safe retreat, I am very grateful to you, take care of your injuries." ”

Returning to the camp, Temujin did not see the return of Jebe, Borshu and Borhu, and was so anxious that the people sent did not find any information, so Muhuali said: "Great Khan, you can't stay here for a long time, once Wang Han sends troops again, these troops will hit stones with eggs, and there is a danger that they will be eaten by him." ”

Temujin said: "Wait, I can't leave them behind, I must wait for them to come back!" ”

The next day, while everyone was anxiously waiting, Borshu, Borhu, and Jebe Pegasus rushed in. Temujin was overjoyed and ran forward, pulled the three generals and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”

As mentioned in the previous chapter, when Borshu and Borhu were fighting the Fire Fierce Gate, suddenly more than a dozen war horses surrounded them. The man who came was none other than Jebe, whom Temujin had sent to the rescue.

Jebe came up and shouted: "The Great Khan has broken through safely, let you not fall in love with the battle, and return to the camp quickly"

Borshu said: "Kill the Fire Flame Gate and then talk about it." ”

Jebel said again: "The Great Khan also said that the life of the Fire Flame Gate must not be injured!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people who were fighting all looked back at Jebe, Borshu and Borr suddenly couldn't understand, and Huoli Liemen couldn't understand. If you don't understand, you don't want to, and you don't have time to think about it. Seeing that they didn't pay attention, Jebel didn't say much, and came up with a knife to join in the battle to besiege and kill the Fire Fierce Gate.

Originally, the fire power Liemen dealt with the two of Bolshu and Bolhu, and they also tried their best, plus a Jebe, which was obviously inadequate. After a few rounds, I will be at a disadvantage, and if I continue to fight, I am afraid that my life will be lost. So, with a false sword, Timateng jumped out of the circle, turned around and fled, almost to the point that the meat in his mouth flew, how could the three Mongolian generals be willing, wielding a sharp knife to chase after him. At this time, it was late and darkness was gradually falling, and the three of them chased out more than ten miles, and they were about to catch up with the fire Liemen, when suddenly the torches rushed to the sky before and after, and a large number of soldiers and horses from the Keree Department surrounded them, and the sound of killing shook the sky. It turned out that Wang Han led the army to retreat, and Zamuhe took the three Mongol rebel generals of Altan, Huochaer, and Dalitai to stop a group of retreating soldiers and horses and wanted to chase and kill Temujin.

Although Altan, Huocha'er, and Dalitai betrayed Temujin, they did not celebrate the other generals under Temujin, and did not want to kill them all and block their own back roads. The reason is that when attacking Tatar, Jebe stopped them from looting and reported to Temujin, so he was angry with Jebel. They came up not to fight Borshu and Borhu, but to specialize in Jebe. Jebekan had worked together under Temujin at the same time, and they were Temujin's close relatives, so they couldn't kill him, so they often showed mercy to their subordinates and stopped at the point. The three rebels fought with all their might, and after more than a dozen rounds, Jebel gradually couldn't stand it.

Over there, Zamuhe took a few generals to help the Fire Flame Gate deal with Borshu and Borhu. It turned out that the situation of three strikes and one took a sharp turn for the worse, and the three Mongolian generals were transferred from advantages to disadvantages, and they had only the share to parry. Zamuhe did not kill Temujin, and shouted viciously: "Kill them!" Temujin had no more generals. ”

Jebe remembered Temujin's confession that he should not be in love with war, so he shouted: "The Great Khan will not let you love war, let's retreat quickly!" ”

The enemy is strong and I am weak, and if I continue to fight, I will only be killed. So the three of them joined together, alternately covering and fighting a bloody way to escape from the encirclement. Zamuhe took more than a dozen generals all the way to intercept and chase closely, taking advantage of the darkness they could not distinguish the direction and fled more than 200 miles, and when they stopped, they did not know where they went, they were sleepy and tired, and fell asleep, and when they woke up, it was the next night, and then they rushed back to the camp overnight.

Temujin listened to what had happened to them, and said, "As long as the person is fine." In this battle of Helanzhen, in the face of more than 100,000 troops, thanks to the heroic killing of the enemy by all the generals, we retreated safely and survived. Wang Han and Zamuhe will settle this account for him one day, as for those three scum, don't show mercy to them next time you see them! ”

Mu Huali asked someone to get some wine and meat, and let the hungry three people eat it first, and then said: "Generals, we have torn our faces with Wang Han, this place and the base camp can't stay, hurry up and prepare to pull out the camp and leave this place." On the other side of the base camp, the Great Khan had sent someone to inform Haqier and Ogedei to quickly leave the old camp with the tribesmen and rendezvous at Dieli Wenpantuo Mountain.

Temujin took his soldiers and horses to the mountain of pinchgula, and the tribes in the base camp had been waiting for a long time. The generals, Temujin's brothers, and sons greeted each other, and for a while, Temujin and Mu Huali came to Kuduan Barahe and said, "This time the old general has made him laugh!" ”

Kuduan Barat stepped forward and saluted: "The Great Khan is too modest, the gains and losses of the moment are not the gains and losses of a lifetime, not to mention that the Great Khan retreated with his whole body, this is a miracle, it is a great victory of the enemy's strength and my weakness and sudden war." The old man still has to celebrate the Great Khan! ”

Mu Huali said: "What the old general said is that if you win a big victory in the weak, you should be happy, Great Khan?" ”

Temujin said very seriously: "A mistake is a mistake, and if I hadn't taken it lightly, there would have been no such result." In the future, please ask the old general to remind me more. ”

Kuoduan Barahe laughed and said: "If the Great Khan is really different, why don't you worry about the great cause with this mind." ”

Temujin smiled and covered up his guilt and said, "The top priority is to ask the old general to tell me where we should evacuate?" ”

Kuoduan Bara said: "I'm afraid that the Great Khan and General Mu Huali already have a number in their hearts, right?" ”

Mu Huali said: "The Great Khan said that the old general is more familiar with the situation in the Mongolian steppe and the Han land and its surroundings, so I would like to listen to your opinion." ”

Kuduan Barahe said in a deep moment: "At present, the strength of the Great Khan is very different from Wang Han, and the side of his couch cannot allow others to sleep soundly, obviously this place is not allowed to stay, I am afraid that the Great Khan will have to be in a very difficult place in the past few years, and he will taste his courage." ”

"Oh?" Temujin and Mu Huali laughed in unison, and Temujin said, "What you see is slightly the same, good!" We went to the eastern shore of Lake Belga to lie dormant for a few years. ”

Temujin ordered the tribe to move eastward along the middle reaches of the Hara River, and set up camp in the eastern part of Lake Belga, where the environment was harsh and there was little water and little hunting, and lived a free life of shooting wild horses for food and drawing muddy water for drinking.

One day, Temujin came to the Banjuni River with his loyal warriors, pointed to the black waters, and swore: "If I have done a great job, I will share the joys and sorrows with all of you. Later generations will pass down the "drinking the water of the Banjuni River" and become the grand spirit of Genghis Khan's hard work.

The Banjuni River region is bordered by Lake Belga to the west, the Changbai Mountains to the east, the monster-infested Black Forest to the north, and the desert to the south. It is the most barren area in Mobei, and it is also a place where all nomadic tribes are discouraged. Temujin, with the strong temperament and physique of the Mongols, led his tribe to live in this extremely difficult and difficult region for several years, just as his ancestor Qiyan was forced to climb the Dieli Wenpantuo Mountain, and spent the most vulgar and difficult period of his life.

In a few years, the tribe moved from crisis to stability, and from stability to prosperity and growth. No matter how the situation changed, Temujin never lost sight of his original intention of revenge and hegemony. The nomadic herders of the tribe hunted and plundered goods and food from the surrounding people. The tribe also continued to be enriched, laying a material foundation for the future counterattack on Wang Han.

When the tribe was a little settled, Temujin trained his soldiers and horses, divided them into several corps, and the generals each brought a daily hunting and riding training. The soldiers and horses were tested every five days, compared with each other every 10 days, and coordinated every month, thus forming an armed force with strong combat effectiveness that is well-trained in unified command, strict in discipline, and capable of fighting in concert.

At this time, Temujin subdued many small nomadic tribes and non-subordinate tribes in the surrounding area, and expanded the number of soldiers and horses, reaching nearly 100,000 people. So, he started the idea of his father-in-law's tribe.

In the same year, that is, in 1162, Temujin began to lead his tribe westward, came to the vicinity of the Hongjira tribe and settled down, and sent a letter to the leader of the Hongjira tribe, saying: "For the sake of my in-laws, my tribe did not attack you, but wanted to establish friendly partners with you. "The implication is that if you don't submit, you will be destroyed!

The leader of the Hongjira tribe knew that he was not the opponent of the Mongol tribe, and he had already given enough face to salute before the soldiers, so he replied: "The Great Khan is the uncle of his own clan, and he is a family of several generations of in-laws, and we are willing to belong to the Great Khan." ”

Temujin subdued the Hongjira tribe with both inducement and force, and the supplies and soldiers were greatly replenished, and the strength was not what it used to be. Although it is still not as strong as Wang Han, the disparity in strength has also been greatly reduced, and once there is a war, as long as the tactics are appropriate, he is basically no longer afraid of fighting with Wang Han's army. Based on this, Temujin decided to go west and return to the camp of the Cold River.

Temujin's return to his homeland was not only a growth in strength, but also two preparations: first, he was psychologically and materially prepared for a decisive battle with Wang Han; The second is to send people to see Wang Han and put a burst of smoke bombs to pretend to sue for peace, aiming to divide Kereh's internal division, divide their forces, and create fighters to destroy him.

After the Battle of Helan Zhenshatuo, although Xiankun was rescued in time, he let Temujin go, and lost a good opportunity to destroy the Mongol tribes. There was a conflict between Wang Han's father and son and the nobles, and they were all disappointed in Wang Han. In particular, the surrender faction led by Zamuhe thought that Wang Han's father and son were Adou who could not be supported, stupid birds who could not fly to the sky, and that they would not come out with them, and maybe they would be eaten together by Temujin that day. Therefore, Zamuhe gathered three Mongolian rebel generals and other generals together to plot to break away from Wang Han and go to Naiban or set up his own door.

At this time, Temuzhi returned to the base camp of the Hanhe River and sent envoys to the Wanghan tribe to pretend to sue for peace. However, Wang Han had no ambition and no certainty, and Temujin bowed his head to seek agreement, so that his self-esteem was greatly satisfied, so he received Temujin's envoy with courtesy.

What Huo'er Chi and Su Rong should do when they arrived at Wang Han's camp was all repeatedly discussed and planned by Temujin, Mu Huali, and Kuduan Bara before they set off. And these two people are famous for their clever tongues, observation of words and colors, and their ability to tell people and tell ghosts is unmatched in the world, so that they later became the right-hand man of Yelu Chucai, the right prime minister of the Great Mongolia, and became famous all over the world. That's all for later.

At this time, these two people came to Wang Han's big tent, not surprised, neither humble nor arrogant, and had the style of tongue warfare. After thanking Wang Han for his hospitality, Huo'er Chi said first: "Respected Great Khan of the Kereh tribe, my lord Temujin has been displaced since the ambush of Helan Zhen, crossed to the land of Sangcang, lived a life of hunting wild horses and drawing black water, and for several years, he turned around and ate unpleasantly, and could not sleep at night, and every time he thought of the father-son relationship with your old man, he burst into tears, and always remembered the benefits of the Great Khan and your past to him. However, it is a great pity that your old man listened to the slander of others, and could not be as faithful to his friendship and father-son relationship as he was. ”

"May I ask the Great Khan, do you remember what his father should do to you? If you don't have the help of his father in your current position, I'm afraid you're still someone else's, right? When Temujin was in trouble, when you asked for help to get back your robbed wife from Miriji, but your soldiers and horses were not more than three days late, Zamuhe was angry, and instead of being angry with you, he reconciled with it, without the slightest complaint; When you fought against the Zamuhe coalition, you accepted his sworn enemy and said goodbye, and my lord never blamed you; And when my lord fought with thee against other tribes, thou hast taken all the captives, and the women, and hast given him nothing, and he hast honored thee as thy father. Last time, Naiman and Miriji attacked you and robbed the prince's wife and family, so I sent my subordinates and all the soldiers and horses to support you without hesitation, and took back the prince's wife, family, and materials.

"The most undesirable thing is that my lord wishes the two clans to be reconciled forever, and proposed marriage, but when he was refused, he didn't say a word. But you have listened to the provocation of the traitorous villains and the rebel generals of Mongolia who have repeatedly harmed you, and have lived in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and designed to trap and kill my lord. And my lord has never been wary of you, and only brought a few hundred people who were ready to hunt to the appointment, and he never thought that you had ambushed more than 100,000 soldiers and horses and put him to death. ”

When Huo Erchi said this, he burst into tears, couldn't cry, and cried so much that his nose was tearful.

Su Rongcai continued: "However, after my lord escaped from danger, in order not to bother your old man, he led the tribe east to the banks of the Banjuni River in the wilderness, and lived a bleak life with no hunting and no water to drink. In this way, my lord still often recites your old kindness, saying that you are not to blame for everything, but only to blame the villains around you for provoking, and it is you who have fallen for the demagogy of others.

"But my lord still believes that your old man still has his righteous son in his heart, and does not want to be separated from him. My lord compares you and him to a chariot with two wheels, and a mutilated wheel is not a chariot. If you don't have a car, you will be bullied by foreigners. Therefore, my lord has sent the two of us to tell the Great Khan of his parting feelings and heartfelt feelings for you, and if he does anything that he cannot do, I beg your old man's forgiveness, and please still regard him as a righteous son, and he will always regard you as a father-in-law. ”

After Su Rong recounted it eloquently, Huo'er wiped his tears and said, "Yes, respected Khan, think about it?" With affection and reason, is there still such a person in the world who values friendship and is benevolent and righteous? ”

Wang Han had already been flickered into tears by the two puffing mouthed messengers, and after sobbing for a while, he said, "I ......"
